Arlene Lemmon

May 2, 1933 - February 27, 2017

(nee Gunderson) May 2, 1933 - Feb. 27, 2017 - With her family by her side, Arlene passed away peacefully and is reunited in glory with her beloved husband Bob (2000), parents Elmer & Gertrude, brother Ronon, sisters Beverly, Gayle, Gene and husband Bud Decker, special brother Harry Fraser, and lifelong best friend Ruth Chamney. She will be dearly missed by her loving children Ronon & Laurie, Cheryl & Stan Sullivan, Ralph & friend Karen Leung, Roger & Donna, her cherished grandchildren Susan & friends Alex and Zack, Steven & Katie, Michael & Heather, Erin & Allan Franzke, Adam & Amy, Kevin & Alexis, Chris, Matt, Colin and Sara, and her precious great-grandchildren Lia, Ben & Aden. She will also be missed by daughter-in-law Dayle, special brother Gerry Fraser, special sisters-in-law Bettie & Karen Fraser & Dorothy Esping, and her many nieces, nephews and cousins within the extended Gunderson, Redfield, Decker, Lemmon, Esping and Fraser families. She will be dearly remembered by her loving friends Pat Leary, Joan Taylor, Bill Chamney & family, and her many friends at Donna Mae’s Diner. Her passion for baking was overshadowed only by her loving devotion and commitment to family, as she spent her life as a caregiver to loved ones in need. Arlene was truly a blessing to all who were fortunate enough to have her in their lives, and we will love her “Always & Forever.” Finally, our angel gets her wings! Special thanks to Dr. Kristen Kupeyan and the Doctors and Nurses on the 8th floor at Windsor Regional Hospital, Ouellette Campus & also to Arlene’s caregivers from CCAC, for their expertise, dedication and loving care. Arlene was a long-time member of the Royal Canadian Legion Ladies’ Auxilliary Branch 201 Essex. If you so desire, in lieu of flowers, donations in Arlene’s memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart & Stroke Foundation. In accordance with her wishes, Arlene has been cremated and a “Celebration of Her Life” will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the Caring Cremation Centre (519-776-7565).
